stork business

























These images are from the first maternity shoot for someone very very close to me. I'm used to shooting dogs, or "regular people" (read: not pregnant) and being around pregnant bellies makes me a bit nervous. They always seem to delicate. I remember being terribly miserable when I was pregnant, so I tried to be careful about making her move around too much.

What I think really makes both of these shots special are her husband's body language. The tenderness in his hands, in the color version, is so sweet. And the way he's cradling his own belly, I think unconciously, in the b/w is adorable.
